For about the 20th year, one of Free Republic's members is pleased to create a Yahoo! Pick'em Fantasy Football league. The league rules are simple: ** Pick the winners of each game ** Assign a confidence value to each game ** Post messages to each other on the message board that include bad puns ** Donate generously to Free Republic at the end of the season in the name of the top point earner That's about it. It is a wonderful time waster that really doesn't take much time. I tend to pick all the games in preseason for all...

Tar-Atanamir (pron. [aˈtanamir]) was the thirteenth King of Númenor. Tar-Atanamir succeeded his father, Tar-Ciryatan, and ruled for 192 years, from S.A. 2029 until his death, being the first King to rule for life since Tar-Minyatur.He was proud and greedy like his father. During his reign the Númenóreans exacted heavy tributes from the men of the coasts of Middle-earth. In his time the Shadow fell upon Númenor and the king and those that followed his opinion spoke openly against the ban that forbade them to sail to Tol Eressea and Aman and the mortality of Men, but they still kept their...

The Government of Maine has really big plans for floating wind, a floating net zero fantasy, in fact. Since floating wind power is the next big green thing, it is worth taking a close look at this ruinous vision. Floating wind is a fad, not an established technology. It has yet to be built at utility scale or tested in a hurricane. The world’s biggest grid-connected system is a tiny 50 MW and just came online off Scotland. The cost of floating wind is necessarily much greater than fixed wind. A fixed wind tower sits on a simple monopile, while...

Hunter Biden’s conviction on federal gun charges Tuesday ignited a feverish debate, including among conservatives, over the constitutionality of the law he was found guilty of violating. Thanks to a 2022 Supreme Court ruling, courts are taking a new look at the federal government’s main gun control law that bars felons, illegal immigrants, dishonorably discharged veterans, fugitives and unlawful drug users, among others, from possessing a firearm.

Not all those who wander are lostJust like the otherworldly maps which often grace the inner covers of these wondrous books, the realm of fantasy novels is surprisingly wide-ranging, with numerous sub and hybrid genres existing within. From full-blown fantasy featuring witches, dragons, magic and mayhem, to dystopian takes that offer an almost satirical commentary on contemporary reality – the choices are endless and rather daunting, making it difficult to know where to start. An enduring genre nonetheless, it’s particularly fascinating that so much of our adoration for fantasy novels comes from our experience of them as children. When reread...

For the past year, rumors have been swirling that Michelle Obama will throw her hat in the ring at the “last minute,” after the deep state successfully completes its controlled demolition of Joe Biden ahead of the 2024 election. Rumors are rumors. But as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. It would be naive to assume the Democrats haven’t already deployed a carefully crafted plan to use Joe Biden as their fall guy to make way for Michelle Obama.

On the back of COVID-related production delays and massive Hollywood strikes, the next 12 months will be a strange mix of long-awaited content and out-of-the-blue oddities. More than half of last year’s list has yet to appear, so there is likely to be a lot of interesting film and TV to come. I’m ignoring most of the big franchise stuff as it has recently proved to be utterly disappointing. Instead, we have lots of strange, creative and original work to look forward to including an apocalypse musical, an android exploring human emotions, and a story about a clone who lives...

Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) said Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Your World” that former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) is going to be the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nominee Sununu said, “It’s the connection she has with voters. When she’s in New Hampshire, and she’s doing the town halls and all that, she’s not just telling you where she is. She does that. But she’s allowing folks to ask questions. She’s earning trust. And that’s why her numbers were soaring before I even got involved because folks are galvanizing around that. And then you have the international experience, which none of...

An Olympic gold medalist long rumoured to be Vladimir Putin’s mistress hasn’t been seen for weeks. Alina Kabaeva, 40, hasn’t made a public appearance since October 22 during a visit to her elite gymnastics school in Sochi, a Russian city on the Black Sea. Just days later a sketchy Telegram blog said the Russian president had died of a cardiac arrest, a claim the Kremlin furiously denied as ‘fake news’ at best. Only a week before, the General SVR account alleged that if the leader were to die, a body double would likely rule in his stead. Kabaeva was last...

Ukraine lost more than 66,000 troops and over 7,600 heavy weapons since launching their counteroffensive in early June, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu claimed on Tuesday.The Gateway Pundit had reported similar figures based on tallies of daily Russian Defense Ministry figures.Western media seek to downplay the horrific bloodbath the monstrous Biden Regime has forced on young men and their families in the disastrous “Spring counteroffensive” with no air or artillery support. The Gateway Pundit is one of the only sources reporting on the Biden-sponsored disaster, that has cost taxpayers $114 billion and approximately 400,000 innocent Ukrainian lives.“The Kiev regime, despite...

Democrats' persecution plans are backfiring big time... Last Updated on August 29, 2023A seismic shift is being felt in American politics as support for 45th President Trump among black voters explodes amidst the deep state’s lawfare efforts to throw him in prison and kick him off of the ballot in 2024’s Presidential Election. As black support for Trump increases, black support for Joe Biden is going down in flames, with just 61% of black voters now saying they support the Democrat – a far cry from the 91% support that was reported in 2020.According to a Fox News poll of...

A Japanese man who spent more than $20,000 to become a dog has finally taken his first walk and immediately made some canine friends.
